Description & Details
A Tribute to Beverly K. Ray’s Vision & Legacy
Each visit to Beverly K. Ray’s properties was an invitation into a world where beauty and design seamlessly melded with nature. The interiors, while enchanting, were only part of the story. It was the views, the way the outside world was thoughtfully incorporated into her spaces, that made each home a living work of art. Though it’s impossible to fully recreate these worlds she called home, we are honored to reimagine her estates and share a glimpse of the magic she so skillfully crafted.
You might wonder why this event isn't taking place at the original properties. The simple answer: neither location provided the parking capacity for an event of this scale—whether in person or virtually. With great care and respect for Beverly’s vision, our team has set out to bring her world to life in a curated space in the heart of the Dallas Design District.
This is no ordinary estate sale. Our professional team, known for its attention to detail and expertise in recreating environments with authenticity and care, has worked tirelessly to ensure that each piece—from furniture to decor—captures the essence of Beverly’s remarkable taste. We’re not simply hosting a sale; we’re offering a rare opportunity to step into a reimagined piece of her world.
Before the sale opens to the public, we will be hosting an exclusive Friends & Family event. Some items may have already been selected during the private event, but don’t worry—there are still plenty of treasures waiting for you.
For those of you curious about Beverly K. Ray’s extraordinary life and legacy, we encourage you to explore her history. Her impact and accomplishments are as vast as her vision, and it’s with great pride that we honor her through this event.
